The Price

The Price is a pithy, funny and deeply moving story of two brothers reunited after many years to sort through the belongings of their long dead father.

Victor has ended up as a policeman while Walter rose to become a leading doctor. Victor is weary and defeated, his brother happy and successful. And it soon becomes clear that the paths of their lives stem from one crucial decision made in their past.

As they dispose of an attic full of family possessions their mutual resentments come to the surface and painful truths are exposed – all the while circled by Victor’s disappointed and pushy wife Esther, and wise old furniture dealer Solomon, who tries his best to play peacemaker.

This was one of Miller’s most commercially successful plays, described by the New York Times as ranking alongside ‘if not above, Death of a Salesman’. It’s a tense and wonderful drama which sweeps its audience along in a brilliant depiction of family tensions.

John Dove (The Man Who Had All the Luck, All My Sons, Death of a Salesman) will direct this acclaimed work from the greatest American playwright of the 20th century.

The cast includes Greg Powrie (The Man Who Had All the Luck), Aden Gillett, Sally Edwards (Copenhagen) and James Hayes.
